Chapter 180

"Yes." all the servant girls in the room went out one after another, leaving a servant girl to serve old lady du to rest.

Du Xiaoli left Mrs. Du's yard and went directly back to Cuizhu garden. She came to her room and asked Xia yuan to put the incense on the table.

"Miss, what's wrong with these incense?" Xia yuan asked as Du Xiaoli opened the box.

Du Xiaoli simply answered and asked Xia yuan to bring a glass of wine. When the wine was served, she threw in the incense she had just divided. The wine soon turned blood red.

"Miss, is this poisonous?" Xia Yuan said in surprise.

"My guess is right!" Du Xiaoli took up his glass and looked at it carefully for a while, saying faintly. Then he came to the balcony and threw the bowl and wine into the river below. When he saw the bowl sink into the water, he lay down on the imperial concubine's chair on the balcony.

Xia yuan came to Du Xiaoli's back and said, "Miss, since the incense is poisonous, why don't you say it when you are in the old lady's yard? Instead, you just say that the fragrance is not suitable for the elderly."

"I didn't think of this at the beginning. Later, I saw a relieved expression after my fifth aunt." Du Xiaoli said.

"Is the fifth aunt intentional?"

"Let's not say whether it was intentional poisoning," Du Xiaoli said, looking at the darkening day. "Xia yuan, don't you think Er Niang's performance today is a little strange?"

"Strange?"

Du Xiaoli nodded and said, "according to her personality, why don't you take advantage of such an opportunity to eradicate the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt? But look at her decision, it's just to let the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt go to the temple outside the city to pray for blessings."

"It's true to hear what Miss said." Xia Yuan said, "but why did she do that?"

"I don't know. But if the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt really have another purpose like dad said, I don't think they should miss this opportunity," Du Xiaoli said.

"Do you want someone to stare at them?" Xia yuan asked.

"No, we don't need to intervene in this matter. The old fox will never relax." Du Xiaoli thought of Du Yunhan and said with a smile.

"But isn't the master busy with the game recently? Will he ignore this side?" Xia Yuan said anxiously.

"Hiss, don't worry about that old fox. I've seen that he can climb to the position of prime minister so quickly. His strength is certainly not boasted. Just about the game, he won't spend all his energy. He has been waiting for an opportunity to catch big fish. Maybe this is another opportunity." Du Xiaoli said without talking and looked at the sunset in the sky.

Xia yuan knew that Du Xiaoli liked watching the sunset glow very much. Seeing that she was distracted, she stopped talking behind her. She remembered the first time she saw Du Xiaoli in a daze at the sunset. She also asked what Du Xiaoli was looking at.

Du Xiaoli replied at that time: "it's dark, it's time to go home. Looking at the dusk, you will feel that your heart is full of warm feelings. That's the taste of home."

She didn't understand why Du Xiaoli valued her family so much, but she could see that Du Xiaoli was very kind to the people around her, even as servant girls. This is also an important reason why they are willing to serve her wholeheartedly.

"Xia yuan, look, the sunset is so beautiful today," said Du Xiaoli.

"In Miss's eyes, the sunset glow is beautiful every day." Xia Yuan said with a smile.

"Ha ha, I just like watching the sunset!" Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "OK, go and invite my brother to dinner. I've been out for a long time. I haven't eaten with my brother for a long time. By the way, see if my father is back. If he comes back, ask him if he wants to have dinner together."

"OK, I'll go to the kitchen and add two dishes, and then call the master and the young master." Xia Yuan said.

"Well, you should hurry up, or your brother will let you cook later." Du Xiaoli turned to look at Xia yuan and said.

"The maidservant knows."

Xia yuan answered with a smile and turned to leave. Suddenly Du Xiaoli called, "Xia yuan."

"What else can I do for you, miss?"

Du Xiaoli shook his head and said, "no, thank you for being with me."

Seeing Du Xiaoli's emotional side, Xia yuan smiled and said, "Miss, we also thank you very much. It's our luck to have you as our master. Miss, I'll go down first."

After Xia yuan left, Du Xiaoli turned around and continued to watch the sunset for a while. She felt that her mood relaxed at such a warm moment.

Although there may be wind and rain in the future, at least for this moment, her heart is free and pure.

When the sunset cleared, Du Xiaoli got up from the imperial concubine's chair, returned to the room, saw the incense on the table, took out a box, opened it, took out a small piece, wrapped it in a handkerchief, put the box back, and then went downstairs.

Shortly after she went downstairs, a dark figure rushed into her room, saw the boxes on the table, picked up all the boxes, put them in a cloth bag and took them away.

After the shadow disappeared, Du Xiaoli opened the door and came in. He was not surprised to see that the box on the table was gone. He turned and went downstairs. After a while, a cold female voice came from a yard of Du Mansion: "everything has been handled?" "all of them have been taken to the river behind and thrown away." a low male voice replied. "Unexpectedly, Du Xiaoli was suspicious of our incense. It is said that she saved the three princesses of Dongli country from poisoning last time. This little girl is really so powerful in poison?" "we won't use the poison in the prime minister's house for the time being, so that the girl won't find out." "Well, the wind is tight now. In addition, the whole Phoenix is on alert for the game. Don't go out easily in the city. I'll pass the information I get this time." "praying outside the city just gives you a chance. You should be careful. I'll go first." Soon, the shadow came out of the house, looked around and quickly left the yard. Shortly after Du Xiaoli went downstairs, Du Xiuheng came. He was going to have someone cook, so Xia yuan called him over for dinner. After they talked for a while, Du Yunhan came. The three had dinner together, and then talked for a while. When Du Xiuheng returned, Du Xiaoli told him what happened today Du Yunhan said for a moment. "Ah, I secretly kept this one. I'll keep some to study and give you the rest. You can check it yourself." Du Xiaoli took out the incense, divided it into two parts and wrapped the half up for Du Yunhan. "You know someone will come, why don't you catch him?" Du Yunhan asked.
